Description

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 4-HALOALKYLNICOTINONITRILES Pearl Cohen Zedek Latzer Advocates, Patent Attorneys & Notaries P-5920-IL1 patent application has been divided out from co-pending patent Application No.
Process for the preparation of 4-haloalkylnicotinonitriles The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 4-haloalkyl-3-pyridine- carbonitriles (4-haloalkylnicotinonitriles) and their further reaction to give 4-haloalkylnicotinic acid derivatives having insecticidal activity. 4-Haloalkylnicotinamides are useful starting substances for the preparation of pesticides, such as are described, for example, in WO-A 98/57 969, EP-A 0 580 374 and DE-A 100 14 006.
These compounds can be prepared in the two stages from 4-haloalkylnicotinic acids, whose synthesis is described, for example, in EP-A 0 744 400.
A simple process has surprisingly now been found for the preparation of 4-haloalky!- nicotinonitriles (I), from which 4-haloalkylnicotinic acids can be obtained in one step by hydrolysis.
The invention therefore relates to a process for the preparation of 4-haloalkylnicotinonitriles (I), in which RF is (Ci-C- -haloalkyl, preferably CF3, where a) 3-amino-1 -haloalkyl-2-propen-1 -one RF-C(0)-CH=CH-NH2 is reacted in a condensation reaction with a compound of the formula (III) to (VII), (R1Z)CH=CH-CN (R Z)2CH-CH2-CN Hal-CH=CH-CN (V) HC≡C-CN (VII), where R1 is alkyl, Hal is F, CI, Br or I and Z, which is identical or different, is O, S, NR or OCO, to give a compound of the formula (VIII), (IX) and/or (X), RF-C(0)-CH=CH-NH-CH=CH-CN (VIII) RF-C(0)-CH=CH-NH-CH(ZR1)-CH2-CN (IX) RF-C(0)-CH=CH-NH-CH(Hal)-CH2-CN (X), where RF R1, Z and Hal have the meanings indicated above, and the reaction product b) is subjected to a ring closure reaction.
Preferably, the symbols in the formulae (I) - (X) have the following meaning: RF is preferably CH2F, CFCI2, CF2CI, CF3 or C2F5, particularly preferably CF3.
R1 is preferably (C-i-C- -alkyl, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, t-butyl, particularly preferably methyl or ethyl, very particularly preferably methyl.
Z is preferably 0 or NR1.
Hal is preferably F or CI.
The invention also relates to the use of 4-haloalkylnicotinonitriles as intermediates for the preparation of plant protection agents, in particular pesticides, such as insecticides.
The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of 4-haloalkyl- nicotinamides (XI), where RF has the meanings indicated above and where the 4-haloalkylnicotinonitriie (I) obtained according to the above process is hydrolyzed.
A particular economic advantage compared with the known synthesis from the acid lies in the fact that by the process according to the invention no activated acid derivative, such as, for example, an acid chloride, is necessary and no reaction with ammonia has to be carried out.
The invention furthermore relates to compounds of the formulae (VIII), (IX) and (X) and their salts, RF-C(0)-CH=CH-NH-CH=CH-CN (VIII) RF-C(0)-CH=CH-NH-CH(OR2)-CH2-CN (IX) RF-C(0)-CH=CH-NH-CH(Hal)-CH2-CN (X) where RF, Z and Hal have the meanings indicated above and R2 is an alkyl group.
The formulae (VIII), (XI) and (X) in this case include all stereoisomers of the compounds, such as (Z) and (E) isomers on the double bonds, e.g. the (Ζ,Ζ),. (Ζ,Ε), (Ε,Ζ) and (Ε,Ε) isomers of the compound (VIII) and in each case the (Z) and (E) isomers of the compounds (IX) and (X).
R2 is preferably a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, for example methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl or tert-butyl; methyl and ethyl are preferred', methyl is particularly preferred.
The invention likewise provides for the use of compounds of the formula (VIII), ((X) and/or (X) as intermediates for the preparation of plant protection agents, in particular pesticides, such as insecticides. 4-Amino-l ,1 ,1-trifluoro-3-buten-2-one (II), as a preferred starting material, is known and can be prepared, for example, as described in EP-A 0 744400, by reacting an acid halide of the formula (XII), in which X is a halogen atom, with a compound of the formula (XIII) CH2=CHOR3 (XIII) in which R3 is an alkyl group, to give a compound of the formula (XIV), RF-C(0)-CH=CH(OR) (XIV) from which, by reaction with ammonia, compound (II) is obtained.
Compounds of the formulae (III) to (VII) are known. They are commercially obtainable or can be prepared by known methods familiar to the person skilled in the art, such as are described, for example, in J. Chem. Soc; 1969, 406-408; Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. 1948, 594 and J. Org. Chem; 29, 1964, 1800-1808.
R3 is preferably a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6, preferably 1 to 4, carbon atoms, for example methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl or tert-butyl; methyl and ethyl are preferred, methyl is particularly preferred.
According to the invention, compound (II) is reacted in a condensation reaction with one or more compounds of the formulae (III) and (VII) to give compound (VIII), (IX) and/or (X).
The condensation of compound (II) with one or more compounds (III) to (VII) and the subsequent ring closure reaction are shown in the following scheme: + compounds (lll)-(V!l) RF-C-CH=CH-NH, 0 (II) H ZR1 H Hal RF-C-CH=CH-N-CH-CH,-CN and/or RF-C-CH=CH-N-CH-CH?-CN II 0 o (IX) (X) RF-C-CH=CH-NH-CH=CH-CN I I o (VIII) Ring closure: (VIII), (IX) and/or (X) (I) The condensation of (II) with (III) - (VII) is preferably carried out under reduced pressure (particularly preferably at a pressure in the range from 5-150 mbar, very particularl preferably 10 - 100 mbar). At the same time, the preferably low-boiling components are distilled off from the reaction mixture and in this process makes possible complete reaction of both starting materials. The vacuum is advantageously selected such that the boiling point of the eliminated compound R1ZH, such as CH3OH, EtOH, BuOH, is below, preferably 50 to 10°C, below the reaction temperature, and the boiling point of the solvent is above, preferably 50 to 150°C above, the reaction temperature. As the same time, the formation of by-products is largely suppressed, and the reaction rate increases.
The ratio of the two components (II) and (III) to (VII) in the reactions can vary to a large exten depending on the compound employed and further reaction conditions.
Customarily, the molar ratio of the components (II) : (III) to (VII) is 1 .0-1 .2:1 , preferably 1 .02-1.06:1 .
Depending on the compound employed, the reaction temperature and the other reaction conditions can be varied within wide limits. In general, the reaction temperature is in the range from -20°C - +100°C, preferably 0°C r- + 30°C and the reaction time is customarily 0.5 to 12 h, preferably from 1 to 6 h.
The reaction conditions also vary, depending on which compound of the formula (III) to (VII) is employed.
Reaction with compounds of the formula (W)/(V): The reaction temperature is preferably from -10 to +75 °C. For efficient conversion, the reaction is expediently carried out in the presence of a base. Suitable bases are, for example, alkali metal hydrides, such as NaH or KH, alkyllithium compounds, such as n-butyllithium, or t-butyllithium, alkali metals, such as sodium or potassium, alkali metal hydroxides, such as NaOH or KOH, alkoxides, such as Na methoxide, Na ethoxide, K methoxide or K t-butoxide, or basic heterocycles, such as pyridine or quinoline. Alkali metal hydrides are preferred, NaH and K t-butoxide are particularly preferred. The bases can be employed individually or as a mixture. The amount of the base employed can vary within wide limits, depending on what is employed as a compound of the formula (III) or (V), whether and in which solvent the reaction is carried out and the further reaction conditions. In general, 1.0 to 1.2 equivalents of base, preferably 1.05 to 1.1 equivalents by weight of base, are employed per mole of compound of the formula (II). · The reaction is preferably carried out in a solvent. In this process, the components (II) can be introduced into the solvent and these solutions reacted with (III) or (V) together with base.
Preferred solvents are polar aprotic solvents, such as Ν,Ν-dimethylformamide or acetonitrile, halogenated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride or chloroform, ethers such as diethyl ether, dimethoxyethane or tetrahydrofuran, alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol, or basic heterocycles, such as pyridine or quinoline. Polar aprotic solvents are preferred; Ν,Ν-dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethoxyethane (DME) are particularly preferred. Mixtures of the solvents mentioned can also be employed. The amount of the solvent employed can very within wide limits and depends, for example, on whether and which base is added. In general, the amount of the solvent used is 1 to 30, preferably 4 to 15, parts by weight per part by weight of the compound (III) or (V).
The preparation of compounds of the formula (VIII) by reaction of the compound of the formula (II) with a compound of the formulae (IV), (VI) and/or (VII) is carried out in two stages, the compound of the formula (IX) or (X) firstly being formed with elimination of alcohol or elimination of H-Hal and then in a second stage a further alcohol molecule or H-Hal molecule being eliminated, which leads to the compound of the formula (VIII).
In all reactions, instead of the pure compounds the salts can also be employed or obtained, depending on the reaction procedure.
By way of example, the reaction below with compound (IV) as a second component is illustrated: 1st stage Base RF-C-CH=CH-NH2+(R Z),CHCH2CN I! O (H) (IV) H ZR -R1ZH Rp-C-CH=CH-N-CH-CH2-CN if O (IX) 2nd stage -R1ZH RF-C-CH=CH-NH-CH=CH-CN — ^ i 0 (VIII) In order to obtain the compounds of the formula (IX) and/or (X) in pure form, the condensation reaction is preferably carried out at low temperatures, preferably from -10 to 0°C, the reaction time is then preferably 0.2 to 4 h. For the further reactions to give compounds of the formula (VIII), the reaction must be carried out at higher temperatures, preferably 20 to +25°C, the reaction time for this second stage preferably being 3 to 10 h.
For a given reaction, the person skilled in the art can select suitable reaction conditions in a simple manner, it being possible to combine the general and preferred ranges indicated as desired.
If the condensation reaction is carried out in the presence of a base which contains an alkali metal, the compounds (VIII), (IX) and/or (X) form alkali metal salts which, under certain circumstances, can be present in the reaction product. In such cases, a neutralization step is added to the condensation reaction, the reaction product being treated, for example, with a mineral acid, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid.
Working-up takes place by methods which are known and familiar to the person skilled in the art, such as extraction by shaking, washing and drying.
The compound (Vlll) has the following tautomers and isomerizes rapidly, in particular in the dissolved state: RF-C-CH=CH-NH-CH=CH-CN IS o RF-C-CH=CH-N=CH-CH2-CN II O RP-C=CH-CH=N-CH=CH-CN I OH Accordingly, the isolated compound (Vlll) can contain a compound of the formula (Vlll)': RF-C(O)-CH=CH-N=CH-CH2-CN (Vlll)' Correspondingly, the compound (IX) has the following tautomers: H ZR ZR - ■ Rf=-C=CH-CH=N-CH-CH,-CN "* OH The formulae (Vlll), (IX) and (X) include all these tautomers and salts of the compounds.
The ring closure reaction of the compounds (VIII), (XI) and/or (X) to give the compound (I) is advantageously carried out in a solvent. Alcohols are preferred, particularly preferably primary (CrC6)-alcohols; methanol and ethanol, in particular methanol, are very particularly preferred. Mixtures of the solvents mentioned can also be employed.
The compounds (VIII), (IX) and/or (X) can in this case be introduced into the solvent, or the solvent is added to the reaction mixture.
The amount of the solvent employed for the ring closure reaction can vary within wide limits, depending on the starting compound and reaction conditions. In general, it is 1 to 30, preferably 4 to 15, parts by weight per part by weight of compound (VIII) or (IX) and/or (X).
The ring closure reaction of the compounds (VIII), (IX) and/or (X) is advantageously carried out in an alcohol as solvent and in the presence of a preferably weak base to give the intermediates (XV), (XVI) and/or (XVII). On subsequent acidification, compound (I) is formed: (VIII), (IX) and/or (XI) (XV) (XVI) (XVII) Here, RF is (Ci-C4)-haloalkyl, preferably CF3, and R1 is a, preferably straight-chain, (d-C6)-, preferably (C1-C4) -, in particular (CrC2)-, alkyl radical and M is H+ or a monovalent cation, such as Na+, K+, Li+, 1/2Ca2+, 1/2Mg2+, HN((CrC )-alkyl)3+.
It is is automatically understood here that the nature of the radical M depends on the base used and its strength.
Suitable bases are, for example, alkali metal carbonates, hydrogencarbonates and acetates, such as the corresponding Li, Na, K and Cs salts, alkaline earth metal carbonates and hydrogencarbonates, such as the corresponding Mg and Ca salts, alkali metal hydrides, such as NaH and KH, alkyllithium compounds, such as n-butyl- lithium, alkali metals, such as Na and K, alkali metal hydroxides, such as NaOH and KOH, alkali metal alkoxides, such as NaOMe, NaOEt, KOMe and KOtBu, basic heterocycles, such as pyridine, 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine and quinoline, or ammonia.
Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates, hydrogencarbonates and acetates, such as L12CO3, Na2C03) NaHC03( K2C03, CaC03 and MgC03, are preferred. Li2C03, Na2C03 and K2C03 are particularly preferred, Li2C03 and K2C03 are very particularly preferred. By means of the two last-mentioned bases, it is possible in particular to increase the selectivity of the reaction in the direction of the desired final product (I).
The bases can be employed individually or as a mixture. In general, 0.05 to 1 equivalent, preferably 0.1 to 0.8 equivalent, of base are employed per mole of compound of the formula (VIII), (IX) and/or (X). The base can optionally be filtered off after the reaction and employed again.
The activity and selectivity of the base can be controlled by phase-transfer catalysts (PTCs). Suitable PTCs are typically crown ethers, cryptands, quaternary ammonium, phosphonium and onium compounds. Examples which may be mentioned are 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, dibenzo-18-crown-6, dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6, tetrabutylammonium chloride and bromide, tetrabutylphosphonium chloride and bromide. 18-Crown-6 is preferred. The PTC is customarily employed in an amount from 1 to 10, preferably 1 to 5 mol%, based on the compound (VIII), (IX) and/or (X).
The intermediates of the formula (XV) and (XVI) and/or (XVII) can be isolated according to customary methods known to the person skilled in the art, for example by removing the solvent and washing the residue.
The invention likewise relates to these compounds.
It is preferred, however, to react to the intermediates of the formula (XII), (XV) and/or (XVII) by treating with acid to give compound (I) without prior isolation.
Strong acids are preferred here, such as aqueous or gaseous HCI, HBr, H2S04 and CF3COOH. The pH of the reaction mixture is in general adjusted to 1 to 2, which is customarily achieved by use of 0.1 to 1 equivalent of acid, based on the theoretical amount of compound (I).
The hydrolysis of the nitrile (I) to give the acid amide (XI) can be carried out according to methods which are known and familiar to the person skilled in the art, such as ar described, for example, in Houben Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie [Methods of Organic Chemistry].
In a further, preferred variant of the process according to invention, the synthesis of the compounds (I) and (XI) is carried out in a one-pot reaction, i.e. without intermediates of the formula (VIII) to (X) and/or (XII) being isolated.
The compounds (I) and (XI) are used, for example, as intermediates in the preparation of plant protection agents, in particular pesticides, such as insecticides.
